Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:30 minutes
Total Time:45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound potatoes boiled
- 3 tablespoon rice flour
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 225 grams mozzarella cheese shredded
- 4 tablespoon corn flour
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs.
- Oil for brushing
Instructions
- Remove the skin of the boiled potatoes and mash them until smooth.
- Add rice flour, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Mix together until smooth and form into a ball to see how the mixture feels, you don’t want the balls to be too dry or too wet.
- Roll out 20 balls in total using your hands.
- Flatten a ball between two hands and stuff 2 teaspoons of shredded mozzarella in the center and fold it over to form a ball again.
- In a bowl pour cornflour and water to make a slurry paste. In another bowl add the cup of panko bread crumbs.
- Dip the balls in the slurry paste and then roll them in the bread crumbs, ensuring they’re coating with the Panko.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C.
- Brush the basket with little oil and gently add the potato cheese balls. You don’t want to crowd the basket so you may have to do this in a couple batches.
- Brush a little oil over top of each ball. Cook for 7 minutes on one side then turn and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the balls.
- Serve hot with marinara.
Notes
You can store the potato cheese balls in an airtight container for 3 days in the refrigerator or for around 3 months in the freeze
